Do these trucks typically regen after 500 miles on the highway? Mine did today after I believe regening
Yesterday or the day before. I feel like mine is doing it more than normal from what I've read.

 

[lincolnlocker]

All depends on rpm and fuel condition... but yes 500 to 600 miles on the freeway is where mine will normally regen.

Anyone know what the issues where with the cold air intakes and it setting a cel for the mass air sensor? Only thing I could find was that the tubes diameter was to small and I guess choking it down....

I have heard the same thing if you are trying to do it with no tuner. I never got an answer on if it can be fixed without tuning.

Only thing I found is the cai companies re did the tube to allow better flow but I dont know if that was the fix or if they re positioned the maf sensor....

Asking cuz i want to redo the filter setup to what I posted before.

Thought you wanted to remain stock...

You ever change the filter in the stock box and in 8k miles have it be matted with dirt/dust across the bottom of the filter? Plus, im not doing it for a while yet.. getting the ducks in a row cuz I refuse to put a cone oiled filter on my truck.

Those must be some crazy conditions you run.

Mine gets changed every 5k and it's filthy every time.

I don't remember what it was but when I bought the aFE for my '11 there was a piece of paper with it that said you may or may not throw a code. I never saw a code and I ran the filter without a tuner for about six months. I would think that if you locate the MAF the same distance from the filter as it is on the stock housing it should be alright. By retaining the stock plastic "piping" you shouldn't have any flow issues.

It won't have the stock pipe. It will be 4in pipe with a plate for the maf sensor to bolt to.

i just replaced mine at 20,000 and it wasnt that bad, OEMs have always claimed that you should leave the filter in untill the filter minder begins to be pulled in and then thats when you replace the filters. Dirty filters (to a point) actually filter better than a brand new one.


Now logic on my end says eventually if its bad enough you need to at least knock some of the crap out of it at least

What are you using to feed into the turbo end?

This is the pic I posted before. I blew it out at 8k miles and had just under 15k on kt when I took it out.... Took this pic after
I threw it on the ground and dislodged all the matting across the bottom.... have 5k miles on the new filter and it looks sorta like this already.

Going to put this in.

The only thing ill change is the air box end. From the flex tube to the fender will be the only thing I delete and get a 45° 4in piece of pipe to got from black flex tube to the big filter with provisions for the maf sensor. Kinda like the 6637 filter mod for a 7.3 only this one flows is 200 or 300 cfm more then the 6637.

That's what I thought you were doing. My point is that you won't have any more restriction than stock down stream of the MAF.

Yay

So the problem was a broken ground that was above the spare tire. Guess it messed everything up in the rear of the truck including the DEF code... they fixed it and no more problems..... YET...

how did you break the ground wire? due to the salt on the roads up there rotted it out?

no fuggin idea man... especially above the spare tire...

don't know how that screwed up the DEF system codes but there was 14 codes and all but i think 3(that i couldn't even find info on) where all linked to the def system..

 

[12stroker]

dang that's crappy. I took my company truck in today for a cel truck was running normal tho.
